Keynote: Grow Your Own

SANS Cybersecurity Leadership Summit 2022

Speaker: Bobby Ford

In cyber security, we talk a lot about ""the talent gap.” According to Cyber Security Ventures, unfilled positions are expected to reach an estimated 3.5 million globally by 2025. The result is an endless tug-of-war for talent between companies. But what if we looked to create talent ourselves by giving an opportunity to someone who needed it? What if we looked at this not as a shortage of talent, but a shortage of experience? Bobby Ford, Chief Security Officer for Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), will discuss efforts at HPE to recruit and train unconventional candidates, and the power we all have to gift people with an opportunity. HPE’s Cyber Security Career Reboot program eliminates the laundry list of degrees, certifications, and experience from the job posting and seeks out people who simply have a willingness to learn and a desire to change their lives. Learn how HPE is gifting opportunities while building its security organization for the future.
